That one always catches me off guard. Hey, everybody, welcome back to TMS. It's TMS, the morning stream for Monday, January 24th, 2020. I'm Scott. He's Brian. Hi, Brian. Good morning. Hi, Scott. That's such a nice, short, sweet one, right? Rat turd. Yeah, it's a rat turd. Okay. Thanks a lot. Fletcher. You're a rat turd. How you like that? How you like that, buddy? Yeah. Yeah. It's actually, he didn't actually... So that's a bit of a trickery thing. Some people ask, how do you get such weird things from Fletcher? Well, some of them he recorded just for the show. And some of them were things he did for Film Sack that I then took out of context, like that one, and stuck a, you're listening to the morning stream or, you're listening to the morning stream or, this is the morning stream or whatever, and add it to the back of the front, and now you got your clip, and it sounds

like he made it for us for TMS, but he didn't. It's like I Frankenstein him. Repurposing content. We're recycling is what we're doing. Yeah, we're being good citizens. Yes. What film sack did you record rat turd for? Oh, I could tell you. It's, uh, that is from a rat turd.

Um, what's the one where, what's his name, points at you and goes, oh, what was that called? Oh, uh, invasion of the body snatches? Yeah, that's the one. The one with the rat turd in the suit. in the soup at the beginning. That's right. Okay. Yeah.

All right, good. Had Leonard Nimoy in it and some other people. Oh, briefly Jeff Goldblum, I believe, was in that. And Kiefer Celluland's dad, Donald. Yeah. Looking down at his finger. He's the pointer. Yeah.

The one that inspired, I think, the monkey on the family guy. Pretty sure that was his. Oh, yeah, probably. Yeah. Was he pointing at you, making you feel all judged or whatever. Anyway, so there's that. Hey, what's going on, everybody? We had a weekend and stuff, you know, things going on.

I feel like the, I don't know if you feel like this. I feel like the COVID is a closing circle. And everybody I know seems to be getting it. We had exposure and ended up having to be away from everybody all weekend. Oh, did you really? Yeah, we don't think anyone's got it, but we're waiting to hear on one other person's test. Does just make sure we don't need to do a test run for everybody? Gotcha.

You don't have any home tests he could take? Not yet. They're supposed to be here any minute, the ones I bought. And then, by the way, did you notice? Oh, did you order some from Ro? Yeah. Did you notice I did the Roman order the day before the government said, here's our new buy, get some free tests, sign up. So I spent 30 bucks on something that I could get for free. But whatever. Guess what? I did as well. And I still haven't received the free ones. But I have received the ones from Get Roman. So there's something to that, you know. Yeah. I've got nothing. here so i don't know what's going on but yeah uh anyway when we get those we'll you know we'll see

if we need to use them yet but uh anyway i'm afraid i'm going to end up using them like elaine uses the sponge you know right like it's it's oh is it is it COVID worthy yeah is it test worthy to this batch until i absolutely need it is it spit worthy like that sort of thing i don't know how we're going to deal with it but uh yeah i don't know either the uh we're in the same boat like every every every one all of our close friends here in Colorado, everyone's gotten it. Close family members, close friends, et cetera.

I think you and Kim might be the only people we know. That don't have it yet. Like the inner circle that haven't gotten it, that, yeah, at least not aware of getting it. Yeah, and the physicality of our circle closing is the thing that's freaking me out, because it's like every neighbor, not every neighbor, but a bunch of neighbors.

some people who have been complete shut-ins for the full two years got it somehow. Like, it's just taken over, man. And too many, too many tad-poolers. Like I see this morning that our good pal TV's Travis had it kind of bad. I hope he's doing all right. He says he's feeling a little bit better. But, you know, you don't want to, I'm just saying, I don't want anyone to get real bad or die. I don't know how I haven't gotten it, you know, with going to,

movies and restaurants and traveling and all that stuff i mean i you know got the the obviously the vaccine the booster prevent a lot of that the the mask prevents a lot of that but still i mean you know people do we know friends we know have had those things as well and they mask up and all that and still end up getting it i don't know how yeah you guys maybe maybe this will be the week maybe norleans will uh finally finally it can have its way break my covid cherry yeah can finally have its way with you and your body. And I hope that doesn't happen. But here's the thing.

Maybe COVID is like stormtroopers and you're Luke Skywalker. They just can't hit you. Maybe. No matter how many shots they take. They just can't hit you. So think of it that way. Maybe. Hey, I got an email I must read before we go too much further in the show today from Jeff

Sire, our pal up in Grafton, Ontario, Canada. Yes. Good old Bronco sent us an email. He does this a lot. He does. This is a good one. So Scott and Brian, talking to Bill about what prop he would use to defend himself during a home invasion reminded me of a story I think you guys would find funny. Oh, we did. We definitely found this funny. When I met my wife, Jennifer, in 1997, she was in the process of getting divorced. Since the divorce was not finalized, her ex still had legal issue or access to Jen's house. He thoughtfully used his access to take random things. things and move stuff around when Jen wasn't home. That's a jerky thing to do, isn't it? Pretty lame. To say that annoyed Jen is an understatement. One weekend I was staying

at her pace, he meant place. Or she has a giant bottle of salsa and he lives in there. I don't know. I don't complain about other people's typos. Hey, I can do it all day when it's Jeff. He gives me so much shit. He can get some shit. That's true. That's true. Jeff or free hotel room,

they put themselves out there that we can. They do. And when they, when they trip over a wire then you can then you get to lay into them anyway uh it says uh her place and her kids were all at their dads so it was just the two of us all right jen wakes me up in the he wakes me up in the middle of the night and says she can hear someone downstairs so i get out of bed and go down to check things out here's the best part an important fact to mention is that i was totally naked at the time now if you know jeff he'll explain himself here in a second but if you know jeff that's quite a sight that's an intimidating yeah at least

At least, based on seeing him clothed. Yeah. I can imagine he doesn't wear padded shirts and... Yeah. He's a big military-looking monster of a boy. He says, so big, musly, naked paratrooper is wandering naked through the darkened house looking for villains. There was no one there. So I go back upstairs to the bedroom.

I find Jen kneeling in the center of the bed in my t-shirt she was sleeping with on the bed. lamp at a baseball bat resting on her shoulder. I told her there was no one downstairs, but then asked, where the F did the baseball bat come from? She said, oh, I keep it under the bed. I looked down on my lack of clothing and said, maybe next time she sends me off to get murdered, she could give me that bat since I didn't think I was, or sorry, I didn't think I was likely to club anyone to death with my penis, he says, his penis.

Jeff, that's an amazing story. Such a great punch. Like, clubbing me and one death with my penis. My penis. My penis. Well done. Although, you know, he defended his love and his life. That's fine.

That's right. You and I would both be chivalrous, though, right? Like, if we knew that there was a baseball bat and we were going to check out what was going on downstairs, I think we'd still leave our wives with the baseball bat just in case they get around us or something. Yeah, what you do is you need two baseball bats. You need two base. His and hers baseball bats. Yeah.

Or, you know, my buddy has, I have a friend who's super into guns. He has a Bernelli shotgun attached to a special attachment thing under his bed to reach down, click, and it's out, yep. And on his wife's side, something similar, I don't know what gun it is. Yeah. He's so into it that he's just sure that if he's ever attacked in this place that has no crime. They're basically Michael Gross and Reba McIntyre inside the tremors bunker. Yes.

Yes. oh my gosh that's a great i wish i'd have thought of that before but that's basically them they're waiting for tremors that never come by the way they never said they live in like this perfectly peaceful neighborhood that no one ever robs anything from and yet he's down i got my berneli right by my hip if i needs it anyway uh hey brian i know there's i smell it in the air there's something going on with podcasting and we all can tell but why don't you tell us what this feeling is we have there's some knowledge in the air and it's coming your way yeah America's Next Top Podcaster, the applications close in about a week.

definitely going to be a prize this season. And, um, what an incredible, incredible opportunity. And, like, you know, even Will Saldberg, who won this last season, he's doing stuff with Justin. He worked on the greatest con, I think, with Justin and Brian, or was it? Something with them. I can't remember now. Or was it the other, it might have been the other. Oh, might have been season two of, oh, shit. That's right. It was season two of, what's his, it's a, Justin goes to college. World's greatest, no, it was it, it was it?

Okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a, is that already out? The season two happened? He co-wrote half of the new season for World's Greatest Con. Maybe they're still in production.

I was a little concerned that we wouldn't see Jenny because I know she's got some new stuff going on, but I'm really glad to hear she's back. Hers was the schedule that I was most worried about. Well, yours and hers because of your, you know, all your new marbles in the straw. Oh, I'm going to make it work, man. I'm going to make it work.

Real quick, I just wanted to send a shout out to all my people out there for the last couple years who said, Scott, you need to play Ghost of Tsushima. Oh, yeah, how is it?

It might be, you know when you play a game, You know when you play a game It might be the best thing I've played in the last 10 years. Well, you know when you play a game like a year or two after its actual release and you just miss the hype bubble and you're like, and this could be TV movies, whatever. It'll be me with Parasite, I'm sure, when I finally see it. Absolutely.

You'll be like, ah, parasite was fine. Yeah, who knows? But sometimes you wait long enough and you've, and you go in kind of like, well, okay, now I'll try it. And it's all upresed and, you know, mastered up for the PS5. So I'm like, I'll just give this a show. but it's awesome. It would have easily been,

was it 2020 was the release year, it would have easily been my game of the year that year had I played it. It's freaking fantastic. Now, if you don't like... Everybody in my raid team was playing it and loving it.

So good. The combat alone, just this samurai combat system they built is so much fun. I love a big open world with stuff to check off. I think I'm gonna,

I'm gonna 100% this thing. And I don't do that very often. Wow. kidding last time i did that was big shock mad max video game from 2015 oh of course it wasn't you did it twice didn't you didn't you go through that game twice no but i bit oh no that's that is true i did i did a run that was really deep and then didn't quite finish it and then i went and did it the whole thing again and and did everything like cleared it out completely yeah so i'm gonna do and i love doing that with a good with a good open world game sometimes they're good enough to just

play and you'll have like maybe the main story and you're done and you just don't do all the side stuff but this has great side stuff It's freaking fantastic. So anyway, to all those people, you were right. It's very good. Okay? I'm admitting it now. It was all very good.

I'm deep into Astraneer. I am loving that game. It's such a, it's the kind of thing I like. The base building, the, but with a storyline, with quests, that sort of thing, as opposed to just a Minecraft. Here's an open world. Build crap. Build things.

Yeah. You like to have a goal. You like to have a goal. I like to have something to do. And apparently they keep adding new stuff to Astroner. I know I'm coming to this thing three years into its existence. Yeah. It's older, but it's really coming to its own right now.

It's a perfect time to play it. So I'm glad to hear that. Yeah, I picked it up on Switch and on my Swatch. Yeah. So I'm going to play it. I'm going to unduck my sweats and play it on the plane probably. Good. That's perfect for that.

There's nothing wrong with that game. That game's great. Well, it's kind of perfect. Here's the problem. On the swatch, it's, the text is really hard to see. There's a lot of fine little tiny details that I need. That's a game I need to play on a big screen, but, um, oh yeah, there is a lot of little, like, helper text and stuff. A lot of little stuff to look at on there.

That's fun. That's not as fun for mobile for us. Eaging eyeballs. Exactly. Yeah. So I have to take my, I'm going to take my readers and play me some astronaut. Hell's yeah. All right. Hey, guys, what do you think about Dunaway joining us? What do you think of that?

I think that's an idea. It's definitely an idea. Whether it's a good one or not, I guess we'll have to wait and find out once he joins this call. But we're going to play Babel Royale today. And I'm excited because that means someone's going to win some prizes. So this is me killing time while Brian doesn't answer his call. Oh, there he is. Hey, look who it is.

Okay. I have to write down my official scorekeeping

right there. Oh, look at that. B.S. That's B.S. You guys. Oh, I got a high-the-chat. All right. Scott. Yes. Uh-huh. They say that the mind is the first thing to go, but it might start going way sooner than people realize. At

what age does the brain start to deteriorate? Oh. Okay. Isn't it? Is it? Is it? 18. 25, 30, or 47?

My sister says that your pathways aren't fully formed till you're 25 to 27. So it seems to me like you're still running on high there. So I'm going to say probably 30 is when you start to do it. Yeah, it's got to be the beginning of it, right? It's got to be. All right. Let's see. Is the answer 30?

Yes, it is. Your brain. The answer is C. C, C, C, signor. Nice. Yeah, Claire, if you're 26, you're, you know, four years away or so from the downturn. Get ready. Yeah.

So you got four years, you got four years more of up and then it starts falling apart. It's all over now. You're in a dirty. Claire's like, wrong. Yeah. And that, by the way, all that gin ain't helping. All right. Hide in the chat again.

That's right. Well, it doesn't matter because they don't know the answers. Well, yeah, I just don't want their help. I just like to look at their reaction. Yeah, I don't want their help. I don't want their stupid help. Exactly. All right, Brian.

The largest bill, it's not very gross, the largest bill to go into circulation in the United States, did so in 1945. The value of that bill was, A, $5,000, B, $10,000, C, $25,000, or D, $50,000. These are all news to me. Jeez.

Largest currency. Did you know any of these exist? Did you know, done away, that any of these denominations existed? I had no idea. I just assume they did. I mean, the largest denomination I've ever seen is a 20. But I had a 50, but I assume those other people, you know, who are rich, have bigger money than me. Right.

And I think I just feel like anything above 10,000. in currency would just be pointless. I mean, you would... Because you'd require somebody to be... Right. You'd require somebody, if you bought something

with that, somebody would have to make change. Exactly. Do you have change for a 10,000? Yeah, people have trouble breaking... Breaking a hundred. I do feel like after the war in 45 or so, right there at the end, I feel like I feel like we were trying to make

a statement. And it feels like a statement number. $10,000 bill. Only three people had one. All right. Bezos, Branson, and Musk. Yep. Right.

All right. Let's see if you're correct. Is the answer $10,000? It is. Look at you guys. Check out the brains on Scott and Brian. Two in a row, baby. Go deterioration over here.

See what the chat said. Everybody in the chat thought it was, no, nobody had answers. A lot of 5Ks. A couple people said 10,000. I'd never heard of a $10,000 bill. I'll never see one either, so that's great. No, no. Are they in circulation now?

Does somebody somewhere deal and... I think once they're in circulation, they can still forever be in circulation. There's not a way to recall them, but... Right, until the bank gets all over and says, time to send this to the burn pile. It feels like if you're somebody with 10 grand worth of a single bill in your pocket, you're going to buy an $8,000 thing and say keep the change.

I get nervous having a $100 bill in my pocket. it. I can't imagine. Yeah. I know. Yeah. I'm the same way. I can't imagine, like, can't imagine that's walking around in your wallet. Walking around money. That's about walking around money.

Exactly. All right. Scott. I'm trying to buy a soda with this. It'll never take it. It'll never take it. Damn inflation. Are you got to buy 10,000 sodas the minute it takes it?

All right. There's a picture. If you take John, Avivetjohn is so quick with the wick. He's like Wikipedia at speed. Well, he's our AV Tech, you know? Oh, who's that guy on there? Who's Chase?

Is that the Chase Bank guy? I don't know who that is on the $10,000 bill. Someone named Chase. Yeah. Chase? Chase Bank. Oh, see, I told you. I told you it was all kinds of, it doesn't say bank.

It doesn't say something kind of arrogant deal. It doesn't say Chase Bank. It just has the guy's name as Chase. I don't know who that is. Right. All right. Well, he looks like a rich dick. Vincent Chase is the person on the $10,000 bill.

Seems like a real. That was a deal. That was just somebody paying somebody off. Yeah, probably. Exactly. All right. Hey, Scott. Yeah. A violent shot in the crotch can kill a man.

Did you know that? No, I didn't. Well, it happened to a guy named Dick Wertheim back in 1983 after he was struck in the groin with this. Okay. A, was it a fist? B, a baseball, C, a golf ball, or D, a tennis ball. The ball to the ball Give me the name again

The bang to bang diggy diggy The name of the guy Yeah Did you give us Dick Wertheim Do you think you know him? No Are you Googling him? What are you doing?

He just wanted to think it was funny With Dick crotch and balls It is funny his name is Dick Right? Yeah it is good Not to him Yeah he's not happy about it I'm gonna go with golf ball

Just for no reason other than that sounds like A thing that would hurt real bad At high velocity Because you think right speed The speed of a golf ball and the size and the... Right. Is this about the right size for, you know,

normal humans' balls and man, you can be clacking like one of those metronome things or what those things? The little gravity balls. Oh, the cradle, something cradle. Yeah, yeah. Newton's cradle. There you go.

No, it is not golf ball. Damn it. Gets the point. And you get the remaining choices. A fist, a baseball, or a tennis ball. What struck Dick Wertham in the crotch? and what happened to his his his man junk what did you say well's the

what was the damage uh killed him a violent shot to the crotch killed him okay killed him wow he killed him wow that's why i thought golf ball it's a smaller it's more bullity i don't know right i thought that tennis ball seems like it wouldn't

i guess like i that fist is confusing me but i want to go with the baseball because man you could you could send something up in your body with that thing man sure uh was it a Baseball. It was not. It was a tennis ball. He's a tennis linesman who in September 10th, 1983 during a match at the 1983 U.S. Open, Stefan Edberg sent an errant serve directly into his groin. He was sitting in a chair and officiating at the center line. The blow knocked him

backwards, and he fell out of the chair under the hardcore surface where he did strike his head. Okay. He also had a... Secondary. He also had a history of chronic cardiovascular disease. This is basically the Well, he had shingles, but he died of COVID. Yeah, this guy was going down regardless. It did. That's all it took was a gentle lob from a tennis ball. Exactly.

So he died on September 15th. His family sued the United States Tennis Association. Oh, come on. $25 million. In an opinion, suggesting that the impact of the tennis ball had not been the proximate cause of his death, the appellate division of the Supreme Court of New York reversed a 165,000. and jury award to his estate. Here's some hate mail.

He shouldn't have been manspread. Anyway. Because of that, the International Tennis Federation refrained from having linesmen sitting during plays. I like the idea that he's got cardiovascular problems and he's sitting.

How big was this guy? Was he a big guy? Was he a big dick? Yeah, I don't know. He's a big dick. Big dick. Dick is down. I repeat.

Dick is down. That's right. Tom's from Norm. All right. I'm hiding them again. Go. next one all right good uh brian this one's to you families buy roughly 500 000 of this kid's toy every year and it ends up sending about a hundred thousand youngsters to the emergency room i'm already i'm already

guessing it go ahead oh really well tell me your guess i won't tell if you're right or not but i mean it's lego right it's got to be lego okay all right let's see um is it bounce houses inflatable pools trampolines or rock climbing walls okay so it's none of those then okay Brian stuff on those a lot. The Lego choking thing is, you know, the thread is real. Yeah, when I think of scary toys, I think of Legos. Sure. Even as much safety as they put on trampolines,

I still feel like that's the go-to. We probably should just ban those. Along with Mario Ringo rounds, trampoline should just be done away with it. Banning trampolines? Come on. It's now an Olympic. it's an Olympic thing.

Exactly, and you should have to go train before you get on one. You just shouldn't have some amateur in the backyard flipping it over. I'm pretty convinced still to this day that when my back goes out, it's because of damage I incurred in an accident on a tramp

when I was young. Oh, really? On a tramp. Shorten that. Yeah, we called it. Scott and the tramp. We called it tramp. Didn't anyone else do that?

We always called it tramp. We never called it tramp. We never called it tramp, too. All right, let's see. Is it trampoline? it is Brian gets the point nicely done yeah they're death traps stupid they are death traps you know maybe what they do

is they do like you see it at malls and things where they have the harness that hooks into the top and so if they jump it if they were to fall off they wouldn't go far because that thing would slow them down and yeah I mean they're fun kids love them I get it oh I loved them ours were like ours were rectangular with no one closing

so yeah with springs that were like two foot long so that you could really get in between it yeah I didn't regret it at the time it's just you know the years it's like soccer players are like man I sure love playing soccer but my knees are mush now it's like that kind of it's like you either got hurt on a tramp or you didn't properly jump you didn't you didn't shoot for the moon or crack the egg or any of that stuff yeah what were you even doing there that's right all right

well Scott this last one is for you okay how are we doing on score I don't know Brian, Brian won this one, three to one so far. Damn it. You can't win, but you can still save face with the right answer here. All right. The first person and the last person to die during the construction of the Hoover Dam had something else in common. What was it? Was it?

A, they both died from electrocution. B, they were father and son. C, they were both women. Or D, their bodies are buried in the dam or stuck in the dam. See, I know that there's truth to that, but I don't know about these brothers or about them. Sorry, about that. No, wait, hold on. That might be it, actually.

Oh, Scott. It was not one of the options. Yes, sisters or father, son. Women, they were both women. They were both father and son. They were both killed by electrocution or their bodies are still stuck in the dam. What I was saying is I know that there are people that just stayed in the dam. Yeah.

So if that means there's multiple people I miss out on the damn tour I'm really tempted to go father-son because it just sounds like some story I'd hear But I'm going to go with the bodies are still in there Okay all right Is it that their bodies are still stuck in the dam Incorrect

For the remaining choices Both died from electrocution they were father and son or they were both women I'm going to go first of all if you're the first one to die that's going to happen because they start pouring that concrete and stuff and you're in there is too bad we're not starting

over I'm going to go with the I'm going to go it feels like electrical deaths are so common it just seems like it just seems odd but I'm going to go with electrical death okay all right

were they both killed with electric Bill killed by electrocution. Bill killed. Bill killed. They were not. No. They were actually, Scott, you should have gone with your gut. They were father and son.

Damn it. That just seems too weird, right? Yeah. It doesn't, I mean, not really, though, because back then, everybody worked, you know, you worked in the mine. Your uncle, your dad, and your son all died in the mine thing that collapsed. Like, it's just, I don't know. It feels like that arrow was all about, dad and Ricky aren't coming home tonight, dear. We're going to have to, you know what I mean?

I don't know. There's something. I should have gone with my gut, is what I'm saying. Right. And it was 13 years, by the way, to the day that they died December 20th, 1922, and then December 20th, 1935. So they both actually died on December 20th. Oh, wow. 13 years apart.

J.G. Tierney and his son Patrick Tierney. I wonder if the same format had to show up with his hat in his hand in the house and go, it happened again. He's just a little grayer. His hair is a little more receded. That's a real bummer. All right. Well, there's that story. The Hoover Dam has all kinds of great stories around it.

I'm sure there's a great, a few great documentaries about that. Yeah. So congratulations going out to Stephen in Peculiar, Missouri. Winner, winner. Yeah, well done. Peculiar Man. You're going to get a copy of Siberia 3, and we were here together on Steam. Those are both pretty good.

But Martin up there in Nanaimo, a British Columbia, you're getting Between the Stars just for participating, which he really didn't. Between the Stars is actually great. I love that game. Yeah, I played the hell out of it. It's a very fun. I don't even know what to compare it to. It's just kind of a cool hybrid of like freelancer and maybe, I don't know, some board game stuff, like dice roll type things in it. You're in space, Unreal Engine stuff.

It's real cool. Very cool game. I like those guys, too. They're nice devs. I was going to say a thing, and I forgot what it was, so I won't say it. I don't remember. Don't remember. Oh, I know.

Shit. Oh, no, I know what it was. Last time I was at the Hoover Dam. I think we talked about this, maybe on the show. But they have the weirdest bathrooms there. So if you're going to go to the, if you're like in the middle of the damn tour and you're out like on top of the thing and you're like, oh, I really got a pee. There's a place to go, but it's weird because you basically open a. a door that goes into the dam and then it's like these strange crooked spiral staircase things

up to like this very tiny room with a toilet in it that's like built into the dam and you can tell this thing was built in like the 40s it's a trip so next time you're there i was thinking you say i was thinking you was going to say you peed and had like a little light that lit up and said you're making power no educational thing no that'd be cool they should do that but no it was just I just felt like I was going back in time. It was really strange. And it has a window that looks out over the dam drop-off. Oh, is it sit-down toilet height window or is it stand-up?

You got to stand-up, you'd see it to sit down and be above your head. No, that's no good. But I peed, so I didn't have to sit. But the thing was, it was like a, it just was such a drop-off. I was completely, like, kind of, I don't like heights. We've talked about this. I don't like heights. And boy, howdy, did that give me the willies?

I'm like, I am one inch away from just, yeah, right off the side of this thing. What about confined spaces and heights? You need to go to the arch. Yeah. The St. Louis arch. Yeah. Oh, I've never been up there. How are the bathrooms, Brian?

Yeah. Yeah, how's the shit? The bathrooms are wherever you go. Yeah. Like you get, you're in a teeny tiny elevator to get up there, first of all. Yeah. And then it's still like a little enclosed area once you're up there. I think I was eight or nine, the only time I've ever been there.

And that would be the only size that anyone should be right in those stupid little carts. They're just too small. Yeah. I want to go there one day. I've never been up there. I didn't know you could actually go up inside that thing. I thought it was just a structure outside. A little windows up at the top.

That's cool. That's very cool. All right. Well, hey, St. Louis, how you doing? Let's move on to now kicking Brian out of here. A reminder that later this afternoon at 3.30 Mountain Time will be doing a play retro episode, which we're very excited about. We're going to talk about cool spot. It's going to be very cool. Yeah. Do you guys remember Cool Spot, the stupid 7-Up mascot that they turned it into a side-scrolling video game and was actually good?

Well, that's kind of our topic. We're going to talk about that game in particular, but kind of all the other stuff around that sort of thing, like the stupid Pepsi Man game and maybe those sneaky king games that came out of Burger King. like these weird advert games it's going to be a blast I've had a trip time this past week Was there annoyed? I think there was a Noid based game for Domino's There were several

Hell yeah Yo Noid being the most popular And probably the best of the bunch They were all kind of bad though And most of them It's a hallmark of being pretty bad usually But once in a while Like this cool spot game

It's a pretty good game Like it actually is a decent platformer Whereas sometimes This stuff's garbage And it used to be true like movie crossovers TV we've gotten way better in the modern era than we used to but it'll be a fun topic we're going to dive in hard so check us out 330 mountain time right here at frogpants dot TV if you want to watch it live we do a lot of video stuff as well so you'll be able to

catch all of that fun stuff if you catch it live or the podcast after wherever you get your podcast and big thanks to uh pocket cast for featuring us this week that was really nice oh that's so cool yeah came out of nowhere didn't know they were going to do that anyway uh go check that out Brian, anything else you would like to say before we let you go? Absolutely. If you like to see me suck and play hard at all on Twitch. Dot TV forward slash Brian Dunaway, I play the games we play on Play Retro. That's a lot of plays.

Yeah. Well, you know, that's where if anyone wanted to watch Brian suck, that's the place to go to watch it. I realized when I started saying, it was like, it's too late. It sounds all corny. It sounds porny. Yeah, it sounds against Twitch's against Twitch's rules of service or whatever. brain deterioration at 30 you say yeah yeah you're well past it so enjoy your declining ears bye now all right there goes brian into the etherverse hey i know what i want to do we can do some quick news here brought to you by jack shelton's wife maria is kidnapped while at a fundraising benefit in florida upon receiving the demands jack leaves his comfortable life in green bay to handle the situation on his own terms shaking a

off the rest of retirement seems difficult as Jack maneuvers his way through the trials of finding his wife in the unfamiliar Florida towns of Port Charlotte and El Jobine. A story of vengeance and mystery with a twist. Go to bit. dot Lee slash Knight Tracer for more details and to get your copy today. That's bit. Dot Lee slash Knight Tracer. I just like hearing you say El Jobine.

El Jobine. I don't even know if that's how it's pronounced. Is it El Jobine or is it Jobion or is it Jobion? I'm not sure. Hobane? I don't know. I have to ask these brilliant people over there making this. In Florida.

Yeah. Hey, you guys, the most popular hot sauce in every state. We're going to talk about it. All right. I love these maps. Yeah, these are fun. Apparently, Saracha is ruling the world right now because a huge portion of the United States. I'll put this up so that check and see it.

Here we go. So you guys see it on screen. that green there is those are all serracha states it's a lot of shirracha serracha it's funny that the hardest the hardest one to pronounce is is the leader is pretty hilarious but anyway all of these are hoi fung saracha is the brand we all know the one you know the red bottle with the turkey turkey the rooster on it yeah we used to when i was younger i didn't know what it's called so i just said they have the rooster sauce and then i would see want to not really pay attention to what it said.

But, yeah, there's something in, let's see, is it New Mexico? No. Who's just below you? Yeah, New Mexico, right? Yeah, it's New Mexico. They have, what's, what's, Bueno, I've never heard of that. Bueno. Is it good?

What amazes me is that Louisiana doesn't, like Louisiana you think would be, oh, well, Tabasco all the time, all, you know, because McElhenney is, is based in Louisiana. Yeah. But no. Yeah, that's weird. It's called original Louisiana, which I'm not familiar with. I've spent time now. That's Mississippi there.

Oh, yeah, you're right. Pointing to Mississippi. It's still Sharacha, you're right. Louisiana has Sharacha, but Mississippi has original Louisiana hot sauce. Hey, I don't want to freak you out, but way on the other side of the country, Texas Pete is happening, but Saracha is happening in Texas. Oh, yeah, that's in George, Brian Dunaway is part of town. Yeah. So both Carolinas like the Texas Pete.

They both like Texas Pete, even though I don't think they like Texas. Frank's Red Hot doing real well in the upper eastern part of the country, although still kind of surrounded by Saracha. I'm a little surprised by this. I thought it would be, I don't know. A little bit more varied across the country. Yeah. I do like Saracha a lot.

Yeah. But I don't know if I like it. Oh, yeah. It does make sense. Buffalo, New York has the Franks Red Hot. That makes sense. Sure. Oh, yeah.

That's true. There's another map dancer or something like that. Which states are ordering the most hot sauce in terms of ounces customer via Instacart? Oh, yeah. I'd be curious about that. Let's see. The most is... Wow.

North Dakota with 5.4 ounces. They're cold, man. They've got to heat up. I guess. Colorado at 4.0. New Mexico at 4.4. Well, Utah's a lightweight. 1.6, you bunch of weanies.

Apparently, if you're looking for hot sauce, you don't have Fargo. I absolutely saw what you did there, for sure. It was pretty damn, pretty damn obvious. It was good, though. I enjoyed it. Texas is only 2.3. That surprises me. Louisiana and Mississippi tied to 1.9, which is also their position in education in the country.

Just kidding. That's terrible to say. Sorry, everybody down. You guys are great. Nevada, 2.4. I thought there'd be a little more hot sauce in Nevada. I don't know. You know, you get your hookers and your whatnot.

You think it's because Sharacha has, you get such a big bottle of it, whereas these other ones come in small bottles. So you just get more bang for your buck. Maybe that's how they got in, and then now it's just like standard. It's like ketchup or something. You're just like, oh, there it is. I know that. I'll eat that.

But, uh, maybe. Yeah. I like all kinds of hot sauces, but I do think serracha might be my go-to if I'm in the mood. How much of the Ellis Cooper hot sauces do you have left? Like, have you finished any of the three bottles? So the one that's supposedly mild, I've eaten all of. That is the best of the three. Like the smoky Chipotle flavor with, oh, man, throw that.

on eggs. Yeah. And it's still pretty hot. Like, the joke there is that his mild is still really hot. The mild is hotter than the medium, in my opinion. Yeah. The medium's okay. The other two are fine. I just really like that mild flavor. Yeah. I could do that right now. In fact, it sounds real good. I could, too. Every time we talk about food, it makes me hungry on this

show. I don't know. Why do we do that? All right. Check this out. The monkey gangs are on the loose. Oh, shit. Didn't we talk about the monkey gangs? Didn't we Throwing dogs off of buildings and stuff? Or is this a different monkey gang? They were, I thought, oh, yeah, it's a different monkey gang,

but you're not wrong to think that we've had multiple stories. This maybe is a sign that the monkeys are, you know, rising up. Something's going on. Planet of the Age is happening. Yeah. Hail Caesar. Monkey gangs hooked on sugary drinks, rampage through town, mugging tourists for food and belongings,

and a reign of terror, says this article on the sun.com. Oh, scary. The town located some 90 miles north of the capital, Bangkok, is known for its massive monkey population. Massive monkey. Massive monkeys. It's fun to say. It's not a lot, but boy, they're big. Yeah, they're big monkeys.

And since Thailand threw open its doors again to holiday makers, that's interesting. We'd call that vacationers, wouldn't we? Holiday makers. Holiday makers. Well, you go, I'm making holiday. Yeah. Anyway, these lawless monkeys have flooded the town streets. The primates have been wreaking havoc by climbing on people.

stealing glasses from tourists and running across cars. To make matters worse. Part of the monkey blinders. Don't forget what you saw here today. To make matters worse, I would say to make monkey matters worse. The gangs are feasting on sugary treats from the locals as they believe the animals bring good luck to the area. The monkeys have been missing out on snacks from visitors, but the fiends are now gorging on hundreds of bananas and syrupy drinks every day. Probably that means they're pooping everywhere.

there's some footage of this oh really we gotta see what we can see here yeah let's do you look okay i love i love look at these guys they're like vermin they're just everywhere oh my god they are and look this guy's just handing it out like what what is he giving them like uh they look like otter pops or something maybe they are oh maybe i don't know i you know i'm not saying i don't think is good for disease. Too many monkeys in one concentrated place is probably going to mean a bunch of weird diseases and new forms

of like, we don't need more excuses for animal diseases to jump to humans, but there's something I like about a bunch of monkeys. Yeah, that's exactly. They're drinking unfrozen otter pops. Oh, that is what that is. Look at that. I'm just watching that one, like, sucking down and

a whole tube of unfrozen otter pops. I like a lot. Can we just like, I don't know, take a head of lettuce down there and give out the leaves. Oh, at least here, they're giving out bananas now. That's good. Yeah, that'll help him with the diarrhea. Carter says that...

Carter was in Japan, and I guess Monkey Island is the thing there. Oh, yeah. She went up to Monkey Island? Yeah, but I don't think they were as rude to her. Like, they were nice and... I don't know. Maybe they're nicer there. I don't know what the deal is.

They always seem a little pissed, these monkeys. Yeah. Whatever kind of monkey they are. Is there... Colobus? Now, what are these? dick dick monkeys dick monkeys sure yeah oh see yeah that's and already she's

getting mobbed on the head for not handing out enough bananas yeah so there's a i think there's a problem with with um what's the word moderation the monkeys don't know how to moderate sure so we're not helping anybody giving them otter pops all day but i do like a good monkey this one's trying to eat his way into the car yeah I saw that.

He's trying to bite his way through the window. How many people do you think they've, how many people down there do you think have found like one day they started their car and then find out they killed a monkey who fell asleep on the engine overnight or something like that. Yeah, it crawled in to warm up the engine block. Because kids, kids, cats do that. Yeah. We had a neighbor kill a cat.

I don't know how old it gets in, uh, oh, he's just putting his, his anus right on the bar of that window of the truck. That's what you want. Have you gotten to that shot yet with his tail hanging over one side of his leg? legs on the other and he's yeah yeah that's a great way to get a sample whatever you need those monkeys are there to give it to you that's that's why i don't that's why i don't touch the bars when i'm traveling in the back of a open truck in tailand i like this very sensible advice from miravina in our chat they are cute little monkeys but don't feed them junk yeah exactly miravina i'm with you uh that's it for today's news we're going to take a break when we come back

stephen schleiker will be here to join us from major spoilers we got stuff to talk about there so stick around in the meantime. Hey, Brian, I'd love to hear a song. Would you? Would you now? You know, maybe this one goes out to Bronco, who instead of carrying a baseball bat, should carry a basement revolver, because that's the name of the band, basement revolver. Big thanks to Auteur Research Records for this one. This is the fourth single to be shared off of their forthcoming LP, which is called Emboddy.

They are Hamilton, Ontario, again up in Canada, shoe gaze group, Indie Shugay. group called Basement Revolver. This is coming out February 18th via Sonic Union Records. This is great. There's a little bit of an NSFW word in here at some point,

but I think you guys can all get through it. We're all adults here. Here's Basement Revolver and the song Circles. Forgot to take my man to again, even though it never happens. Worried sick, I'll meet my end. Try to take each day that comes, one step at a time. Decluttering my mind.

I'm always fighting with my own head. Can't get out of crying. Running in circles in the dark. It seems like there's nothing to control it. Try my best to be healthy. Running in circles in the heart I thought I was past this But it keeps on coming back

When something's sudden passing Another panic at times I'm always fighting with my own head Can't get out of color Running in circles in the dark Seems like there's nothing to be a lot of it Try my best to be a thief Running in circles in the park

I've always wondered Do you feel guilty For the way that you first did Did it feel good Taking it many I fucking hope you feel guilty I always wonder Do you feel guilty

Do you feel guilty Do you feel guilty? Do you think I'm always fighting with me I'm always fighting with me I'm hot, kick it out of it, running in circles in the dark. Seems like there's nothing to control it, try my best to be healthy.

We're all getting a little bit older every day. Drab, dull, saggy. I know what you're thinking. When you present yourself to the world, you project who you are. Never use so. I want to talk to Sylvia about her posture. Powdered donuts. My favorite.

A morning stream, Excelsior. All right, we're back. That song, once again. The song is called Circles. It's by the band Basement Revolver. Nice. Nice. I'm sure it was good.

I'll listen to it in post. It was good. It was good. I'm sure it was. All right, we're going to get a major spoilers dose in today. right straight in your butt everybody oh yeah I got that low T

well we also have low M it's a lot of time for some major spoilers Stephen Schlecker Steven Schlecker hey look who it is it's a professor tenured professor

Steven Schleger actually do they do that where you're teaching or whatever oh yeah yeah I've been tenured at this university since 2000 and five let's say five tell me what does that what does that afford you what kind of nothing parking space

do you have a parking space with your name on it no okay okay no tenure i think people really think that once you get tenure it means you can't be fired and that's that's not true because you can be fired for cause you can be fired for low performance ratings um you know sexual harassment you know all sorts of things that you can be fired for okay what tenure does for the most part is it gives you the freedom to go out and do research without some overseer saying, no, you can't do that. Oh, so it's like an extra. That's kind of what it.

Like an extra layer of trust or something sort of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. And then, and then, yes, somebody said you get a little bit more money. You don't get that much more money. Okay. So if you, so if somebody thinks being tendered means you'll never get fired, and then they show up to class one day and just flop their junk on the podium, they're going to get fired.

So that, yes, you would get fired for that. Okay. So in fact, we had a few years ago. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, you can go and find it on the web. We had a debate coach who I believe, I believe he was tenured. He went and mooned. He got in an argument at a debate event with another coach and mooned the coach in front of a bunch of people.

And it wasn't like you could see his bare butter or anything was his underwear. But yeah, he was let go the very next day. Oh, wow. Here it is. Kansas University fires debate coach who mooned rival is the headline. That's awesome. This was back in, when was this? Wow.

26, 7? Somewhere around there. Yeah, something like that, August of that year. Here's what he said. Obviously, it got out of control, but to be honest, I thought I was in a safe house. I thought I was part of a community that handled its problems internally and that recognized the dangers of exposing themselves, no pun intended to the rest of the country. Oh, no, that's the other person, not him. He's just like, whatever, I'm pissed.

I'm going to moon you. Oh, yeah. He's a pretty cool guy, but he's pretty radical. Yeah. He says everyone has the right. The school says everyone has the right to freedom of speech, but these acts. actions are not acceptable for someone who's representing our university said Hammond, whoever that is. He is the president at the time.

Ah, gotcha. All right. So, Hammond, or, Stephen, don't be mooning anybody. I don't, I don't do that. Okay. All right. That's good. Now, I'm really happy to hear that. I'm also happy to hear that you're here because we always get to talk about cool stuff in the comics world, major spoilers.com, the great resource go-to for many of us who love comics and comic culture, pop culture, that sort of stuff. For example, Black Christian and tan. Sorry, I don't know how to say it right. How you spell that last name? I don't know how you said either. I always just call him Crackistan. Well, Crackistan. It's K-R-R-R-S-A-N-T-A-N. He's the he's the wookie on Boba-Fet. Have you been watching Boba-Fet? No, I've not been watching Boba-Fet. Oh, you know what? Before we got into this, I forgot, I had a thing on my calendar on Saturday that said, and this was something we made like months ago, that I said that on this, that on this. date on the 22nd, Scott will not have watched

Loki yet. Yeah. Oh, I still haven't. So if you... Okay, I win. Yeah, you win. You win whatever bet you made. I'm feeling closer than ever, though. I feel closer to watching it than I've ever felt before. Double or nothing for April 14th? Of 2023? Yeah, a year and a month now. I'll take that bet. Yeah. Who knows? But so, okay, so the first appearance of this character

in a Star Wars comic which was a Marvel thing back in the day sold for $225 bucks it's not bad wow yeah that happens a lot especially when characters who haven't been present in other media but have been in comics and the first time that they show up in a show usually we see the rise of that comic book just skyrocket through the roof in this case Darth Vader number one from 2015 got $225 though if you go for a 9.8 slabbed copy, it's $350. Oh, you do it be even better.

So this is an unslapped. Yeah. Slabbed. I love that word. So this character is a wookie, right? That's the deal. Okay. I keep hearing he's the coolest thing in the thing.

Like he might be the best part of it. Yeah, which is unfortunate, right? Because if that's your, if that's the best thing in your boba fetch out, here, let me just say this. Robert Rodriguez, back in the day, everybody was like, oh, man, Rodriguez, you know, El Marriachi and from Dusk Till Dawn. And then this is

my biggest complaint about BobaFed is it needs to be less Spy Kids and more Star Wars. Yeah. That's what I I have heard a very similar take. I've not seen it obviously, but I've heard somebody say something very similar to that. I don't know. Like everyone I've talked to, people I

trust are usually either just kind of, oh yeah, it's good. Like Brian just did. Or they're like, I don't know. It's not really great. Maybe wait for it and bend it or nay like that yeah wait for it and binge it i'm not i'm not going to put you to any kind of deadline on this it's just not as tight as a mandolarian no no no no no better than uh the star christmas special yes oh my gosh that's quite the range you got there well i'm trying to think of other star wars tv things that iwok it's better than ewalk adventure yeah okay is it is it

better than the prequels um i don't think so geez parts of it are better than parts of the prequels, but it's, that's a tough thing. That's interesting. Okay. Yeah, that's a tough thing. I like the Tashi Station bits. The water stuff. I don't, I don't like the Spy Kids stuff. I don't like the,

the, what are they, the modded Vespraiders. Yeah. I do like the Tuscan. The Tuscan Raider stuff was so good. That was good. Yeah, that was, that was interesting, but anything that was set in, the chases, the chase scenes in at least the first

three episodes are the weakest. A low speed chase, you mean? Yeah. Nobody's really into that. Does he, does the wookie have a big scar on his head in the show? Yeah. That's pretty cool. Do you have braids like that? That's badass. Yeah. Oh, no, he's pretty bad. I mean, he's badass. I mean, he's badass. When he first appears, he kicks the crap out of a lot of people. And it's very, very cool. And then a spoiler alert, at least up to the episodes that have been released, it's kind of just like, all right, be on your way. Yeah. Is it out? So it's not. done yet they got a few more to go or one more two more to go oh yeah i think they've got like three or four more episodes oh okay well maybe they'll put maybe they'll uh desperado this business

and make it amazing who knows you don't know you know what they should have done and what initially when this first started out i really thought that they were going to do um a fistful of dollars with boba fed yeah right it should have been great the bounty hunter with no name uh-huh and and and he's hitting all the other and he's pitting all the other crime lords against each other. That would have been a really good. Yeah, that would have been the great direction. But that's kind of Mando a little bit. Like Mando's kind of man with no name a little bit. I mean he has No, it's more good the bad and the ugly, I would say. Yeah. I mean, yes, but that spaghetti Western, they really leaned into it. And this one doesn't so much. It's more, well, from what I've heard again.

I don't want to judge it until I see it. But yeah, you should watch it. And I know that there's a lot of people that are just like, oh man, I love this Boba Fed stuff. That's great. Not everyone's going to agree with you. And that's fine too. Yeah, welcome to Star Wars. Modern Star Wars means you're not going to agree. That's how it works. I really like, or what I probably end up seeing first as Peacemaker. I keep hearing just, I need to be watching Peacemaker. That is an interesting show, right? I mean, if you, I don't know if you've had any a chance, probably not, is my guest, to watch the Harley Quinn animated series on HBO. Not yet, although it's in my queue forever, but no, I have not. Okay. So if you like, for those people who are listening and have actually watched the Harley Quinn animated series, if you like that, Peacemaker is in that same vein. but live action. It's very interesting

and it's very good although judo master kind of creeps me out. Oh, well. Really? Okay. Interesting. I watch this.

As it should be. By the way, someone in the chat found a picture of your old debate coach there at the school, Moon and the people. Yeah, yeah. You can find the YouTube video.

You can go search on it. Oh, really? Yeah. This is just a proud moment for you in the school? Oh, yeah. Sure enough. I mean, he and I were working

on a project at the time and then it was just like, what happened to Bill? And he's gone. And it's just like, oh, okay, well, that's it. That's the end of Bill. And he was, I mean, he is, I don't know what he's doing now, but at the time he was one of the top debate coaches in the country. Really? If not the top debate coach in the country. Do you think big debate got to him and made him do something dumb? Yes, I'm sure that's what it is. Yeah, big debate, whoever they are. I don't know who they are. Yeah. All right, here's some, I think, some relatively earth-shattering news. I was just talking to Chris Metzen about this. Transformers and G.

but Transformers is the bigger one I think anyway has a bigger following here is leaving IDW publishing how why what happened well so here there's a couple of things a few years ago now I'm sure this is the conspiracy side so everybody put on your tinfoil hats

a few years ago one of the writers on GI Joe introduced I think I believe it was a trans character and the fandom just went ballistic and said oh and called up Hasbro direct instead of dealing with IDW publishing. And so some people will say, well, this is because of that thing that happened like 10 years ago.

And this is why Hasbro is pulling the license. No, that's probably not it. Over the last couple of years, IDW has actually let a lot of their licenses end. You know, they lost Star Wars not too long ago, and now Marvel Comics has picked up. Yeah, the Star Wars line, the High Republic stuff. And I think that's what's happened here is IDW has really,

if you follow what they've been doing as they've been trying to go public and as they're part of a much larger, what's that gaming company that conglomerate that bought up a bunch of... Tencent? Is it 10 cent? Maybe that's it. I don't remember. It's a Scandinavian company that bought up a lot of other game publishers. Oh, I don't know. I can't think of me. They also, I believe they also own IDW publishing. So they've had a lot of difficulties financially over the last couple of years. I think IDW games is a big part of that. And so I honestly think that they can't afford to keep the... G.I. Joe and the Transformers license. And so they are ending that portion of their agreement with Hasbro. Now, on the plus side, you know, if Hasbro wanted to pull out completely, they would have

also taken Dungeons and Dragons and My Little Pony. Dungeons and Dragons is a huge seller for IDW right now. Oh, I didn't realize that was doing well. That's cool. Yeah. Jim Zub is fantastic. Oh, we love that guy. He's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. We tanned him on comic dorks years ago. He's great. Yeah. So, okay, let me ask you this. My guess, yes, I predict before the end of the year, Marvel will announce that they are bringing G.I. Joe and probably Transformers back to Marvel because they still do a lot of work. Marvel still does a lot of work with Larry Hama. And so I have a feeling that G.I. Joe will find a home at Marvel Comics before the end of the year. And I don't want to discount. I want people not to discount

this idea of thinking what toys that are now comics, how lame. I'm telling you those, I don't read G. I don't read G.I. Joe, but those Transformer comics, freaking awesome. There's some really good stuff in there. Yeah. And by the trans character that we were talking about from 10 years ago, that was in G.I. Joe, not transforms. That was in G.I. Joe. Okay. Because there's no, what a, there's no trans character in Transformers. They would just ask for the most horrible people on the internet to make the worst jokes. Do you know what I mean? Right. It would just be, oh, what a nightmare. But anyway, okay. That's all cleared up. All right. Well, we'll see what they do. I'm fine wherever they go as long as they have good talent. But I worry about IDW. What are they

going to do now? Well, yeah, so here's the oddest, here's the oddest part of this. And so maybe the, my little pony and Dungeons and Dragons line may leave IDW eventually, although I'd be surprised if Dungeons and Dragons did because it's not part of the greater, what are they calling it, the Transformers universe? Because right now, in continuity, both in the movies and in the comic books, all of these toy properties are interconnected. So My Little Pony, Transformers, G.I. Joe, I forget what their other one is. They all share a shared

universe. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, this was a big thing that they announced again, like 10 years ago. And ever since then, they've been doing plenty of crossovers with all of these properties. So at some point, does that mean there's a potential movie that is Transformers and G.I. Joe

working together alongside each other to take down Cobra or some crap like that? Wasn't that in the, wasn't there already a movie? like that? Was there? I don't know. I don't know if the Transformers are involved. I thought one of the G.I. Joe or Transformers movies was that. I know they I didn't see it, but I guess that thing that came out last year, the

what's the, who's the cool ninja guy? But snake eyes. Oh, snake eyes. I guess that was passable. It was all right. It's from what I heard. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if there was any kind of teasery stuff like, oh, snake guys bought a new Camero and it turns out bumblebees and, you know, like I don't know how that went. But anyway.

Somebody in the chat created a title. that said My Little Transformers Pony. There actually is a Transformers, My Little Pony crossover comic. Oh, my good. That is actually really good. Yeah. Really? Okay.

Yeah. Yeah. Good, you say? Like, what definition? Like, it doesn't suck. Like, you would think that, oh, my God, this is going to be the worst thing in the world. And no, it's good. It's solid.

It's a solid. It's a solid crossover. Transformers has crossed over with G.I. Joe, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future. My Little Pony. I think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as well. So yeah, there's all sorts of those comics that you can go grab. Well, my favorite transformer of all time is now

in our Discord, so enjoy that. There you. All right. Well, well done. This is great to hear all these things because where else are we going to find out? That's right. Major Spoilers.com has got you covered, everybody. I know you've got a whole slew of stuff going on this week. What do you want to mention before you go? I think people should stay hydrated.

Oh, I do too. You know, like, if you're getting a drink. It's a great advice right there. Yeah, stay hydrated. Why not? Stephen, have a good one. We'll see you next time. I really thought he would promote one of his shows or something.

I thought so, too, yeah. They just went right to, right to his closing. He was ready. He was ready to go. It's totally fine. All right, we're going to end things this week with a couple of things. An email, first of all, emails that come to us at the morning stream at gmail. This one is from Milliamp, who's usually in the chat when they're there.

No, never in the chat room, but they would be Milliamm if they were. be millie amp if they were in the chat room there you go if they ever went to the chat room which they never do so our chat room would be our chat room would be one milliamp that's how much power would generate sure get it exactly uh he says scott i know you don't lack for drawing ideas a request but thought this pop this thought popped in my head when the chat room asked for a pick of the alternative urination device number one i don't remember when this was when we talked about alternate urination devices but anyway one keeping that thing around sounds gross and two even a pick of the decommissioned unit sounds gross, but a cartoon of the unit sounds funny.

Instead of a man-weener, you could draw it installed on Jeff Bezos's wiener rocket. That's it. That's the email. I'm never in the chat room, but if I do, I'm Miliamp, if I were. I like that a lot, actually, like a drawing of your back-hurting urination device. Yeah, yeah. And then, but then his point is probably well made, which is it's gross either way. Like, I did it.

I did it. But if you make one that's got like, you know, a starburst rapper and a parquet margarine tub and like, you know, it's like a Rube Goldberg device, I don't know, I think that could be kind of funny. That'd be all right. We could probably use that. I did a drawing. Have you seen this lizard floating around, this picture of a big, weird, hunky lizard with a smaller lizard on its back, smiling? Uh-uh, no, no. It's been all over my feed. In fact, Ashley Robinson sent me, or put one up, and she was the thing that broke the camel's back. That thing got me so inspired last night that I stayed up late.

That's why I'm so tired today. Stayed up late drawing this lizard thing. I can't wait to show everybody. It's going to be great. Really? Oh, we can't wait to see it. I loved your Seinfeld room. Holy cow, that thing looks great.

Oh, I had a wild hair up my butt that day. Apparently so. I was like, I've got to make apocalyptic Jerry's apartment, and I don't even know why. I got no reason to do this. I'm just going to do it, and it took forever. But I did it. Sometimes, listen, in this NFT nightmare world we live in, sometimes you've got to draw just because you want to,

not because somebody needs to improve their crypto portfolio, okay? Sometimes you just need to draw shit. And that's what I did then. I did it last night. I mean, a little tip to lower your blood pressure. You can go into Twitter settings, go into privacy, and have it automatically filter out any tweets that have the contain NFT. I wish that was where I saw it.

I get most of it in like emails and stuff. Oh, really? I get targeted all the time. I told you about the guys... I can only help you so much. I told you about those guys that tried to sell me my own art. That took my stuff, went and minted it, and then came back with it and said,

you should buy these. And if you don't want, if you own name. It's like, fine. What are you talking about? Fucking F off. But yeah, the Seinfeld in Detroit wasn't the idea. We apologize for that statement. Anyway, yeah, I'll get on that.

Hey, you need to do Central Perk next. Oh, that's not bad. I'm just trying to think of. other like their apartments pretty good and friends central perk is good yeah department friends uh the uh maybe the uh the the ricardo's house and i love lucy like the interior i could have the corpse of fred merts on the floor that'd be cool as much as you as much as we don't really care for big bang theory that that set is instantly recognizable yeah that one's not bad cheers bar is good yeah wouldn't mind oh cheers

bar is a great one yeah real question is should i because it's a When I got done with that, I was like, ugh. The Brady Bunch staircase is a good one, yeah. I needed a nap after I was done. Oh, I'm sure. I can't even imagine. It was a beast. All right, here's a mashup from Jamie.

Alice and Chains. Well, there you have it. I love Allison Chains, huge fan. And I... I thought I was a big fan, too, until I listened to their entire library. Everything, like the Lane Staley stuff, fantastic. But boy, later stuff, newer stuff. Yeah, I agree. It's not

great. Harder time with it. But I could listen to Dirt right now. That album, right. And, yeah, that is the highlight for me, too. So this is the problem. You can't have your lead singer committing suicide and stuff, you know? You can't. No, keep them protected.

can't see that but you shook your head and know while you're saying for everything else you're looking for yeah why did i do that i don't know is that demonstrating what you're people looking for other stuff yeah it's it's a it's a secret little symbol of what i'm actually saying do the opposite is this like carol brunette tugging her ear yeah the secret signal to somebody in the audience yeah i'm letting Tim Conway know it's time to come out and do Dorf or whatever. Exactly. All right. Perfect. All right. Hey, tomorrow's Terry Z's birthday. He's going to be 75 tomorrow. So happy 75th birthday, Terry Z. I always forget that, I know you've told us your age before and I always forget that

that you're one of our more senior listeners. And I love that. I love that we haven't pissed you off enough to make you leave and go somewhere else. I think that's a sign that he is a really cool, well-rounded dude that doesn't fit the boomer mold, and I'm proud to know him. Exactly. That's a really good way to put it. By the way, we have a prize we're going to be giving away from Terry this week. We'll do it with feud this week. A foot pedal, USB foot pedal, so you can operate like games and stuff or Discord, push to talk, or things like that. We have a giveaway this week of a foot pedal from him.

Very cool. I have one of the well minds on my desk, but it's meant to be for feet. That's awesome. I love it. That's your test, but it's made for me. I have one that's supposed to be on the floor. That's where most people use it. It doesn't really matter, but that's how I mute over here.

Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. It works great. So it must not be a very big one. No, it's small. But when I bought it, it was meant to be, I can't show because it'll pull too tight, but basically it's meant to be like a little pad that you put your foot on.

Sure. And I did that for a while, but I would miss sometimes. And I'd be like, oh, shit, where'd the thing go? And I was like, I'm going to cough anyway. So then I pulled. it up here and now I can cough all day. It's great. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. So here is Terry's message. I'm a child of the 60s graduating high school in 1965 and college, the year we were born in 1969. Wow. If you fail in your challenge, any interesting cover of a psychedelic rock song from that period to be appreciated. But the challenge is a cover of Grace Slick's White Rabbit or Somebody to Love. Besides early Jefferson Airplane, I was also a big fan of the Moody Blues and Elton

John. Thanks in advance, Terry. Well, challenge accepted. That's an easy one because it seems like if you're going to cover Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane, those are the two songs everybody wants to cover. And technically, they weren't originally Jefferson Airplane songs. They were Grace Slick and the Great Society songs. She brought those over with her when she left Great Society and joined Jefferson Airplane

and all those other Jefferson and Airplane Starship and all those other bands that came out of that. Sure. This is, listen, the movie Sucker Punch didn't really give us a lot of great stuff, but it did give us an excellent soundtrack, including this cover of White Rabbit by Emiliana Turini. Here is White Rabbit. I'm going to be able to be like you to watch. One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small, and the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice, when she's don't feel in at all. And if you go
